	<h2>Dream journal</h2>
	<p>
		I dreamed that someone forcibly hooked me up to four car batteries.
		It didn&apos;t hurt as much as it probably would have in the real world, but it was enough to wake me up.
		When I went back to sleep, I had the same dream again and woke up a second time.

		My discussion post for the day:

	<blockquote>
		<p>
			It sounds like you had quite a scare there!
			I&apos;m glad to hear you recovered.
			Were the doctors able to tell you why your ketoacidosis this time wasn&apos;t able to be controlled with your regular techniques?
			It seems like there&apos;s a lesson there either way.
			On the one hand, you may have learned new techniques, or on the other hand, maybe the lesson is to see a doctor sooner about it next time just in case.

	<h2><code>include.d</code></h2>
	<p>
		I was planning to work on some more scheme-specific classes just to get my parent class for $a[URI]s of a known scheme properly tested, but that code really should be reworked anyway.
		Every one of its methods uses conditionals that rely on constants defined in the child class.
		In other words, for each child class, only one branch of each method will even be used, if either even will be.
		There really should be two versions of each method, and only the version in use should be made a part of the child class.
		The parent class should be broken up into ten traits that can be tied into the former child classes.
		I think I&apos;ll just leave out the traits that aren&apos;t in use though, eliminating the impossible error conditions that I&apos;ve been needing to find a way to somehow test.
		I&apos;ll add back in whichever traits are needed once I complete and release the other scheme-based $a[URI] classes.

	<h2>Organisation</h2>
	<p>
		I had a scrap of time today that I didn&apos;t feel was long enough to start on any coursework projects, so I started working on organisation again.
		I think I made decent progress.
		I can easily see me finishing up on ...
		Oh, wait.
		I was thinking I had an upcoming day off from work after the term ended, but I don&apos;t.
		My only day off this week is the day I need to bike to Eugene, have an exam proctored, bike home, then bike further into Eugene and attend the $a[EUGLUG] meeting.
		The next day, I don&apos;t have school, but my work week begins anew.
		It&apos;ll be almost a full week after school gets out that I&apos;ll have an actual day off from work.
		Still, this should be complete fairly soon.

	<h2>Trust</h2>
	<p>
		Our new cash register system has a lot of annoyances, bugs, and other problems.
		I found out the other day that the head manager has grown to like the system enough that they wouldn&apos;t want to go back to the old way we did things, but that&apos;s neither here nor there.
		Anyway, one annoyance is that the registers lock up when they have &quot;too much&quot; money in them.
		They demand a cash pull, and refuse to allow us to continue taking orders until they get one.
		Yes, I see why this is good in theory most of the time, but they always lock up when we&apos;re busy, as that&apos;s when all the money&apos;s coming in.
		I mean, they lock up sometimes when we&apos;re slow too just because they hit that point eventually, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they&apos;re going to lock up at some point during each rush.
		One a register locks up, a manager&apos;s got to stop what they&apos;re doing and preform the cash pull.
	</p>
	<p>
		The head manager decided to edit my account and authorise me to perform cash pulls now too to make things easier.
		Reading between the lines though, what they&apos;re really saying is that they trust me enough to perform cash drops,  so that&apos;s pretty cool.
		On a more practical level though, this will save time and effort.
		While I&apos;ve considered it a necessary evil up to this point, I have found it mildly annoying to have to pester the managers whenever the register decides to lock me out.

<section id="sales">
	<h2>Sales contest</h2>
	<p>
		Without the ability to look up the rankings myself, I&apos;ve lost track of who&apos;s near the lead in the sales contest.
		I only ever knew who I thought were the top three, and two of us seem to have been disqualified for various reasons.
		That means I knew I&apos;m in the lead, but I knew nothing else.
	</p>
	<p>
		One of my workmates told me today they&apos;re in second place, but that they&apos;re planning to give me the reward if they win.
		They say they&apos;ve got plenty of money already, and they think I work hard.
		I don&apos;t think I could accept the money though.
		I&apos;m actually not sure why they work here.
		They&apos;ve got two jobs, and the other pays much better.
		If they&apos;ve got so much money, why put all your time into working a second job?
		Either way, I&apos;ve only got one job, and they&apos;re no slouch, so they clearly work harder than I do.
		While I wouldn&apos;t say I&apos;m the hardest worker there, but I do actually do my job, which isn&apos;t something I can say about everyone there.
		There seem to be only a few of us that actually take our job seriously.
	</p>
	<p>
		Now that I think on it though, maybe the wise thing to do would be not to take the job seriously.
		I mean, it&apos;s a minimum wage job with mentally and emotionally toxic working conditions.
		Not to mention the issues in the physical work environment that I&apos;d prefer not to disclose because this job pays my rent.
		This isn&apos;t a great job and doesn&apos;t deserve those of us that give it our all.
		Still though, I deserve not to feel like crap, and I loafing off makes me feel like crap.
		Even near the end of the night, when everything&apos;s done and we&apos;re all just trying to pass the time until we get to lock the doors, I get rather antsy.
		When I&apos;m on the clock, it just feels like I should be being productive.
